The design of modern SOCs (systems on chips) requires increasingly thorough verification to ensure that manufacturers don’t spend millions on mask revisions when first silicon has problems. A widely ...

Scandump is an advanced silicon debugging technique that ingeniously repurposes DFT (Design For Testability) scan chains for functional debugging. This method allows for the extraction of states from ...

Verification engineers continually report that up to 70% of the total engineering time spent on verification is consumed by debug, particularly when relying on disparate tools across multiple vendors.

PCI-SIG’s Peripheral Component Interconnect Express Gen5 (PCIe Gen5) is a system protocol used primarily for data transfers at high rates in systems. A transfer rate of 32 Gb/s can be achieved by PCIe ...

In context: Some industry experts boldly claim that generative AI will soon replace human software developers. With tools like GitHub Copilot and AI-driven "vibe" coding startups, it may seem that AI ...
